CFJ Students are being treated to a Jazz Band concert during lunch today! We are lucky enough to have the high school students down to play today, they even stopped in to show off their instruments during my Kindergarteners music class 🎶🧡@JonMichaelShea1 @UECSDTigers

So thankful for UEEF for funding my collaboration grant! Instruments arrived today, and I am so excited to start on our project. This would not have been possible without their help and generosity!! 🧡🎶 @JonMichaelShea1 @UECSDTigers

CFJ is READY for the first day of school!! Let’s do this 💪🧡🖤 @JonMichaelShea1 @UECSDTigers

Today marks the completion of Level 1 Orff Schulwerk course at @Nazuniversity! These past two weeks have completely changed my outlook on music teaching and I’m so grateful for this experience with the best people!! 💜🎵

How K-2 is ending the year in music class! Students took a trip to “Camp-Sings-Alot” where we built community by singing some camp songs and doing other camp-related activities. Such a great way to end the year together! 🧡🎵

#Movingup for our CFJ 5th Grade Leaders 💪🏻 Though we were so happy to celebrate today, we are also so sad to see these wonderful students leave our building. Hoping for nothing but greatness for all of you. We love you so much! #tigerpride #LeadershipMatters @UECSDTigers 🧡🐅

5th Grade Chorus Students wrote about “How To Succeed In CFJ Chorus”! These brochures will be used at the beginning of next year to recruit students for chorus. I loved seeing the student responses! 🧡🎵@JonMichaelShea1

Another proud #principal moment. Our CFJ 4/5 students once again absolutely crushed their Spring Concert. This song got me pretty good 🥲🧡🐅 @musicwithmissc

5th Grade Ukulele playing today in music class… I love when they help each other!! 🧡🎵@JonMichaelShea1 @UECSDTigers

Musical Rainstorm with 2nd Grade Today! We had so much fun coming up with instruments for our rainstorm and reinforcing dynamics. @JonMichaelShea1

Today’s 2nd grade lesson- Instrument Families Write The Room! A great way to get us moving around while practicing identifying instruments and their families. I love this lesson! 🎵 @JonMichaelShea1

I was given this today by a student… I am so lucky to work at CFJ!! 🧡🖤🎵

Forget the fancy details. Remember what's important. 💚

The amount of pride I feel for this building and these #leaders was through the roof Friday night. Our @UECSDTigers crushed singing the National Anthem 🇺🇸 Thank you @BlackBearsFPHL for having us and a huge shoutout to @musicwithmissc 🧡🐅

I love being invited into classrooms to see students work in core subjects! Knowing what they’re working on in their classrooms helps me to understand how to best support them in the music room. They are always so proud to show me their work, and I am so proud of them! 💙

@RoehmCarmen @JonMichaelShea1 Miss Roehm is the best!! 🧡🖤

Jump Rope Ninja is something I tried for the first time this year. I am so excited to share that it was a HIT. Students learned how fun learning the skill of jump-roping can be. They also learned that with PRACTICE and PERSEVERANCE, they can get better every day. @JonMichaelShea1

We’re down to the Final 4 of CFJ Music Madness!! “Dance Monkey” vs. “Cruel Summer” and “Eye Of The Tiger” vs. “I Wanna Dance With Somebody”. Curious to see what comes out on top! @JonMichaelShea1 @UECSDTigers

What's better than saying "thank you"? Singing it! 🗣️ 🎶 From choir conductors to chorus instructors We're singing a big "Thank you!" For helping us raise our voices in song We're grateful for all you do! 🎶 #ThankYouThursday #MIOSM #MusicInOurSchoolsMonth

UE-nity Day at CFJ! #SELday 🖤🧡 @JonMichaelShea1 @UECSDTigers
